The Boy has expressed an interest in learning about the Roman Empire. I mistakenly mentioned this to The Grandmother.
Help! Anyone got recommendations for non-fiction Roman books and/or building sets for a 13 year old?

The onslaught of big business capitalism is getting me down, so thought I'd do a very short thread of things I recommend that are on sale today.

I have so much to do today. The house is a state, I have a reality busy week to prep for, a promised trip to W5 to squeeze in.
And what am I doing? Scrolling Bluesky.
Could someone kick me up the arse?

Just had a horrible run in with a horrendously aggressive man. It triggered a panic attack and an hour later I still feel shaken.
But I don't want to think about him any more than I need to. I'm focusing on the really lovely people I've met since then.

I hope when they read the budget out today there’s something in there which involves the numbers 6 and 7, and Starmer just involuntarily starts doing the hands again.

Good morning, while everyone is waiting for the budget to be announced it’s a good time to say that immigration is a source of prosperity for the UK and painting Britain as a hostile state is sabotaging the country. Thanks!

I've just come across someone who uses an email address with Brexit in it.
This is an email address they use for semi professional work.
Is it bad that I automatically think negatively of them?

The hubris is strong with Musk but he's not a complete idiot.
They will have known that a large number of MAGA accounts will be Russian fakes.
A little stunt to piss off Trump and/or remind him he is owned by Musk?

Been trying to sort the storage unit in our living room in the for Christmas decorations to go up next weekend.
So far I have found:
3 lost necklaces
2 lost Christmas craft kits
1 lost pair of glasses
173 pieces of Lego
I should do this now often.

I've found my lost boot! Sadly it's been in a bag with other smelly slightly damp shoes for 2 years. Wish me luck rescuing it! 😆

APOPO uses #clickertraining to teach #HeroRATs to associate the “click” sound with a food reward. This motivates them to perform tasks like detecting target scents. Their favorite treat? Mashed banana and avocado! 🐀🍌🥑
